Chapter 1180: The General Edition Rune Fighter

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before the start of this match, the intensity of this battle had also been expected to be second only to the battle between the Saruman Snake and Golden Wheel battle teams. The degree of attention was naturally different. In addition to the recent turmoil, the sensitivity level was different too.

Many teams who had been defeated had packed their bags and were ready to leave, but they were now notified to stay and wait for further notice. The team members were in the dark. They felt ashamed to stay, and they were too ashamed to watch the match live. They had been hiding in their rooms to watch the matches these past few days, especially the more powerful the teams.

They were not allowed to leave? What could this mean?

Did they really want to change to real combat after the quarter-finals?

That was a completely different situation. It was a common scenario to be injured during battles involving the use of mecha. Life and death were junctions that they had to face. This was something beyond their control, and massive changes would take place in the hearts of both sides of the battle. Furthermore, could they withstand the attacks of the Earth-rank warriors in the battlefield?

Of course, these were not decisions that the ordinary team members could decide, they merely obeyed orders. This was because if the actual combat became a reality, then the vanity that they failed would mean nothing. The upcoming battles were to be fought with their lives at stake. To put it bluntly, the teams that had advanced would be dealing with tougher situations.

In the first match... the Iron and Iron and Steel battle team put in their best effort. The first person to take on the match was their captain, Ergas!

The Sea Queen battle team sent their vanguard, Pabilsag.

“The Iron and Steel battle team is trying to fight a team battle with the Sea Queen battle team,” said Zhang Shan. “Tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect the Sea Queen battle team to put in their best efforts.”

Wang Zheng smiled. “Don’t get too excited, you need to recover well.”

“I am forged with iron!”

Saruman Snake were now united as one. They had attuned their state of mind and condition to peak level. It did not matter who their opponents were in the quarter-finals.

The Atlanteans were the symbol of invincibility in the past. However, although the Atlanteans were still mighty, that mysterious aura has receded. While they possessed very powerful spiritual power, and could communicate with the forces of nature, it was not differentiated by elements; it was merely a powerful force that had not attained the level of invincibility. On the contrary, although the humans were slightly weaker, they possessed more variations and varieties.

Pabilsag was very composed. He did not feel any pressure even though the opponent was the captain of the Iron and Steel battle team. Perhaps it was sufficient for the Atlanteans to do their best; there was no pressure to win or lose.

Ergas chose the Overlord. It seemed that the Iron and Steel Academy’s preferences were similar. As long as the opponent was not Atlas, Ergas would not need to do his best, and this would plenty of choices in the next two matches.

Pabilsag was slightly slimmer in physique, and his face was somewhat pale – typical Atlantean features, very handsome. His aqua blue eyes were very beautiful, but confronted with Ergas’ horrifying energy, he appeared somewhat pitiful.

His mech selection – not the Phantom King... not the Specter King... Pabilsag chose a relatively unknown but very conventional Atlantean mech – the Rune Warrior.

The humans called it the standard Atlantean mech. Pabilsag was quite a hoodlum. You put in your best efforts, and I would just make do for a while.

Both sides were spot on in their choices of mech. They knew very well that they could not out fight each other, so they chose to preserve their physical strength. The deciding factor would be the team battle.

Even if there were hidden masters in the Iron and Steel battle team, they would not be able to defeat Atlas. This, the Atlanteans were very confident of.

There was a relaxed and light-hearted debate in the arena. There was nothing to look forward to in this match. However, everyone was very interested in the formation of the battle of the top four. While the other countries were uncertain, it was very likely for Aslan to win. However, why the sudden fuss? Was there any hidden meaning behind it?

Of course, this was speculation and gossip. Of course, for the audience, if they could watch an actual battle, especially this sort of level, it would be a thousand times more interesting than watching virtual warfare. Although many people appeared like arrogant bullies during the virtual warfare, when it came to an actual battle, problems would begin to arise in their mentality and even their condition because of the crisis of life and death and the more instinctive reactions of their bodies. This situation was particularly serious in the military schools. It was commonly known as “student disease”. Some veterans who had been trained in the battlefield may have trained like dogs, but they had proved to be more useful in the actual battlefield. This was the mentality.

This was a method to strip off the camouflage. Some people said that the top eight were the best of the warriors. They would not be afraid of actual battle as no one would be afraid of death. It was obvious that people who uttered such words had never really experienced it before. This definitely existed. This was also the reason why the SIG had not been valued.

The two mech warriors had entered the battlefield. The Overlord adapted very quickly, and his tactics were successful. Ergas did not want to waste too much time. This tactic was drafted by him. If it was in the past, according to the Iron and Steel College’s reputation, no one could stop him from doing anything, but now he could not do that. He had too much of a burden; he had to consider not only the quarter-finals, but also greater goals. He needed to be prudent. The more cards he kept hidden, the farther he would advance. This was the lesson he had learned from Jondi Lilick’s defeat. Never imagine that you were the strongest. Jondi Lilick was once the strongest in the SIG, together with Gonzalez, and the unlucky Qiqin Nacchai, and Wang Zheng was truly the Earth-rank assassin.

Although it had yet to be released, but his X rank ranking would have leaped forward. However, he had to remain composed.

The Rune Warrior pulled out the Rune Sword and moved toward the center of the battlefield.

“I feel that the Sea Queen battle team is going to lose soon.”

“The Atlanteans have not been as powerful for the past few years. The Arbiters’ tenacity specifically restrains such ignorant and arrogant people!”

“The tactics were also targeted. I do not expect Arbiter to put in their best efforts.”

More than 60 percent of the audience was more optimistic about Arbiter’s chances of winning. The members of the Sword Shield Rose battle team were silent, their eyes shining brightly

Lin Feng started to smile. He took a look at Atlas. Although Aslan and Atlantis had a very intimate relationship, to be honest, Atlantis had too many secrets and had always held a certain wariness against the human. Of course, this was understandable; he would do the same if he was in the same situation. The humans were a group of terrifying factions; it was another Zerg nation in the universe. The desire for expansion could be quietened temporarily, but it would eventually re-ignite again.

Pabilsag was not the name of an ordinary person. It was the name of the person who could be the guardian of the temple in the future. Pabilsag was the successor of the new generation. He was the fifth guard of the temple. In the Atlanteans’ myth, he was the guardian of death.

In Atlantis, the names in the myths could not be used lightly.

The two mecha met. The Overlord showed great momentum and surging courage. With a bang, it attacked the opponent!

Boom!

Overlord Sky Rocket Cannon!

Egas attacked the runic mech immediately. Ergas could still control the direction of his mech in mid air. The Atlantean mech was changing constantly, but it was very swift too!

He sang the song of victory with the vigour of Arbiter!

Confronted with the Sky Rocket Cannon, the Rune Warrior remained motionless. If he had chosen the Phantom King, he could have a variety of choices: to confuse the opponent, or to leave, but the Rune Warrior was just a basic runic mech. It was very balanced, but had yet to hear that it possessed any special functions.
